Order of Omega

Ω

Founded on April 14, 1959, Order of Omega is a leadership honor society for members of fraternity and sorority organizations. Order of Omega recognizes juniors and seniors who have exemplified high standards in the areas of scholarship, leadership, involvement within their respective organization and within the fraternity/sorority, campus, and local community. To date, more than 500 chapters have been chartered throughout North America, each sharing the common goal of recognizing the many outstanding student leaders at their institution.

Undergraduate new members are chosen either annually or semi-annually by each chapter according to the provisions of the chapter’s bylaws. Aspiring members of Order of Omega must be sophomores, juniors, or seniors to be eligible for selection. Each Order of Omega chapter may only initiate up to 5% of the campus’s FSL community size or 20, whichever is greater.

The Gamma Chi Chapter was chartered on April 4, 1981 at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
